White Collar Crimes Defense Attorneys In Jacksonville

White collar crimes are often nonviolent financial crimes. They get their name because they are often carried out by those in white collar professions, such as financial officers, bankers, corporate executives or politicians. Convictions can lead to fines, jail time and a significant impact on a person’s career and reputation.

Common Types Of White Collar Crimes In Florida

There are many different types of white collar crime, including the following:

  • Embezzlement
  • Fraud
  • Ponzi schemes
  • Bribery
  • Insider trading
  • Money laundering

These actions are typically financially driven, such as an executive who misappropriates business assets for personal gain.

Steps To Take If Accused Of A White Collar Crime

If you have been accused of a white collar crime, it is very important to understand the exact charges that you’re facing and the options you have. When responding to fraud charges, remember that you have a right to remain silent, and you do not have to say anything that may incriminate yourself. You also have a right to an attorney, so it is often wise to wait to speak with authorities until your lawyer is by your side.

How To Defend Against White Collar Crime Charges

Our dedicated team can help you explore defense strategies for white collar crimes. Some potential examples include:

  • Cases of mistaken identity, especially with digital or online transactions
  • Demonstrating that you may have made a negligent mistake, rather than intentionally committing a crime
  • Presenting an alibi or other evidence to show that you were not involved
  • Contesting the way that the police gathered evidence – if they performed an illegal search of your home, phone, or computer, for instance, then evidence gathered in that search may have to be excluded from the trial

These are just a few examples of white collar crime defenses, but we will help you determine the best way forward based on the details of your unique case.
